![]() However, they wanted us to pay $800 for a food-prep tent, so we were priced out of Epcot catering. If we had used Epcot’s catering team for dinner, the cost would have applied to that minimum. I sent in a suggested menu, and then we worked on it to get the price down to $50/person plus tax and service charge. The price of dinner did not count toward our food and beverage minimum because it was provided by Rose & Crown. I picked Option 2 so that we could spend as long as possible at UK Pubside. Because I’m not crazy about the Rose & Crown’s food, we were fortunate that the chef agreed to work with us to customize a dinner with dishes from other Epcot menus, including Le Cellier, Coral Reef and the Epcot catering menu.

As it turned out, I thought UK Pubside had the best view of IllumiNations anywhere, so we were happy to be there! We had the option to try for one of the dessert party locations used for weddings, like UK Lochside, but since you have to pay the $24/person food and beverage minimum for the minimum number of people required by these sites, and that’s at least 20, it was out of our budget. (Note: These are the 2018 prices, but a $3,000 (Mon-Thu) or $3,500 (Fri-Sun) overall minimum expenditure is now required to plan a Disney Catered Event.)Īlso, the fine print of our contract stated that if we had fewer than 20 people, Disney would charge a $50 small-party fee, but this never showed up in our BEO or on our final bill. There is also a $10/person viewing fee if you don’t have park admission. The venue-rental fee is $300 plus 6.5% tax, and the food and beverage minimum is $500 plus tax and 24% service charge. Final payment was due 30 days before the event.īecause it was just the two of us, we reserved UK Pubside, a venue adjacent to the patio at Rose & Crown that is designed for a maximum of 10 people. I contacted her about 6 months ahead of time and put down a deposit, but I had to wait til 90 days to sign the contract. I called Disney’s Catered Events ( or 32 or 32) and worked with a planner at the BoardWalk Inn on a surprise dinner and dessert (including a replica of the top layer of our wedding cake) during IllumiNations at Epcot. Reservations are available starting January 17, via the Disney World website or the resort's dining reservations number, +1-407-WDW-DINE. Kids can enjoy a soup or salad with their choice of Cheese and Turkey Flatbread, Turkey Meatball Pasta, Cheesy Pasta, or Fish and Chips as well as either Fruit Salad or Trifle for dessert. And for dessert, you’ll love this Pudding Platter Trio featuring Sticky Toffee Pudding, English Trifle, and Chocolate Nougat Bar. Start your meal off with a Scotch Egg or the United Kingdom Cheese Platter, and follow up with popular entrées such as Rose & Crown’s signature Fish and Chips, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Pan-roasted Scottish Salmon, or Bangers and Mash. That's unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, so I imagine that there will be some fans out there who will take this new package as a challenge to make these seats for the show an even better deal than they were before.Īs for the food, Disney's press release lays out the options: The fixed price dinner includes an starter, entree, and dessert, as well as unlimited beverages. But at least this new package offers what could work out to be a great value for some visitors. The Rose and Crown seats will become the setting for Disney World's latest dining package, with an $85 per adult charge ($35 for kids) for dinner and your seat for the show.įrankly, I am surprised that Disney didn't convert this to an upcharge experience years earlier, given the resort's fondness for such things. ![]() Starting January 18, if you want to watch IllumiNations from the Rose and Crown's patio, you'll need to pay extra.
